If you like Goblin Slayer's main series this is more of the same.

We get to see our hero become the Goblin Slayer here. The first chapter mainly focusing on the attack on the village. You get glimpses of that event in the main series but here you see it in all the horror. Meaning lots of spikes through heads and goblins raping a lot of women. It's hard to watch and it hits the effect of why our hero is so determined to kill them all. Next is a 5 year time skip in which we have the Goblin Slayer going on his first quest alone.

It's cool to see the Goblin Slayer make so many mistakes and learn from them. Also nice to see how he actually escaped the horrors of the events as a child and his sister's death. The brutality of the manga works in its favor for the type of show it is. Also, the art is really solid. It's nothing brand new and you can guess what will happen next if seen the show or read the manga of the original series but it's well done and well drawn. A 3.5 out of 5, I'll bump it to a 4.
